Baptismal Preparation Sessions are scheduled through the parish office.  Parents must be registered parishioners, and both are expected to attend the preparation session.

​Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) 

​RCIA is the process of exploration of the Catholic faith, designed for those who would like to become Catholic, or would like additional information about the Church. The parish adult initiation process is a journey. We, as a parish, join with those adults and older children who wish to be members of our Catholic community. RCIA is an opportunity to learn about the faith, have questions answered, and discern the voice of the Lord

MARRIAGE

Marriage Preparation Steps for St. Patrick’s Catholic Church

1. Meet with Fr. Matthew Brumleve, pastor. Fr. Matthew will collect basic information about you (address, sacramental info,) and at this – or your next meeting, you will take the Prepare Assessment, and meet again to cover the analysis of your assessment.
2. Attend a “God’s Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage” Saturday session in the KC area.
3. Attend an “Engaged Encounter Weekend”. Weekends are held in the KC area.
4. Attend a Natural Family Planning Course. At St. Patrick’s, we offer courses throughout the year, following the Sympto-Thermal Method.
5. One of the last things we will do is talk about the ceremony itself. You will meet with Fr. Matthew to discuss Scripture readings, the pronouncement of your promises, and, if necessary, with Robin Lamb, Liturgist, on music.

Please Contact Father Matthew
